Forgotten Riftstones
When you explore Dragon's Dogma 2 open world, you'll notice there are quite a few things to be discovered. One of them are Forgotten Riftstones, special magical stones that'll allow you to recruit powerful allies. There are 26 Forgotten Riftstones in the game, here you'll learn where to find Forgotten Riftstones in Dragon's Dogma 2.
How do Riftstones Work?
Riftstones are magical rocks that'll allow you to hire new pawns for your party. You'll be introduced to them fairly early on in the game when you create your main pawn.
Big settlements and cities, like Bakbatthl and Vernwort, have their own Riftstones However, you might also come across an inactive Riftstone during your adventures.
Once you find a Riftstone, you'll need to get close to it to activate it. Doing so will give you 30 rift crystals. Here's where things change according to the type of Riftstones you found.
You see, there are two types: Regular Rifstones and Forgotten Rifstones.
Regular Riftstones
If you activate a Regular Riftstone you'll be transported to the rift, a dimension where you'll be able to see all the pawns available in that Riftstone and hire them for your party.
Not all Regular Riftstones are the same, they usually have a name that gives you a clue as to what type of pawn you will be able to summon there. For example, the Riftstone of Calm allows you to only hire pawns that have the calm inclination while the Riftstone of Nootide allows you to only hire female pawns of large stature.
Forgotten Riftstones
If you activate a Forgotten Riftstone a random pawn of a level way higher than yours will be summoned and you'll have the choice to hire it or not.
Usually, if you want to hire a pawn that has a higher level than yours, you would need to go to a city's Riftstones and use the filters there to search for such pawns. Doing so will cost you rift crystals, as the higher the pawn level the more crystals you'll need to pay to hire them.
However, pawns that come from Forgotten Riftstones are free of charge!
Keep in mind that after you activate a Forgotten Riftstone you won't be able to use it again. Whereas normal Riftstones can be used as much as you'd like.
